Lost in a Sea of Pessimism

Some lyrics i wrote.

Dropping...
On my knees
To the floor
I look up and see
What wasn't there before.

Hoping...
It isn't false
Another ploy
No withdrawls,
I'll not be you're toy.

You try to stay me,
Trying to save me from myself
Just embrace me
Pull this box off the shelf.

I try to praise you,
Trying to make you strong
I'd never hate you,
Even if you've done me wrong.

Grasping...
At that hand
Stretched above
I've got no plan
For this page of love.

Standing...
Up to meet
Who's still there?
My heart skips a beat
And begins to raise a cheer.

Clutching...
Who I need
To my breast
I can barely breath
Even time is at rest.

You try to stay me,
Trying to save me from myself
Just embrace me
Pull this box off the shelf.

I try to praise you,
Trying to make you strong
I'd never hate you,
Even if you've done me wrong.

Looking...
To their face
Bathed in light
I see my whole life
My stars are burning bright.

Raising...
Up my arms
To the sky
My hope's rekindled
This needs another try.

Searching...
In my heart
For this love
The ties used to bind
Time to give myself a shove.

You try to stay me,
Trying to save me from myself
Just embrace me
Pull this box off the shelf.

I try to praise you,
Trying to make you strong
I'd never hate you,
Even if you've done me wrong.

Author's Note

I wrote this awhile ago, so I might go back and edit it sometime in the near distant semi-far off future.
